go into run on the Start Menu, type command.com, then when you get a C: prompt type ipconfig /release press enter wait a couple of minutes and type ipconfig /renew

That should release the 169 ip and force windows to look for another IP address. If this doesn't work, turn off the pc, turn off the modem. Walk away from the pc (have a cup of tea). Turn on the modem, twiddle thumbs for three or four minutes, then boot up the pc.

If that doesn't work then I'm flummoxed.
